When the weather is nice, there's nothing better than packing a picnic and eating in the great outdoors. Whether you've hiked into the wilderness or simply driven to your local park, it's immensely satisfying to sit and soak up the sun while nibbling a variety of yummy treats.

We have recently been planning our perfect picnic, which involves making sure we bring everything from the blanket, plates and cutlery sets, to antibacterial hand gel, bottle opener and plastic bags, plus choosing foods that are both tasty and easy to eat and prepare. This made us start thinking about our very favourite picnic foods, and we were inspired to put together a pretty slideshow that celebrates these wonderful summer foods.

Have a browse through our choices, then let us know what your favourite picnic foods are...
